Washing your hair with champagne? It's a thing
Using champagne to wash and style your hair is becoming a unique beauty trend. Rachel Katzman, the founder of Cuvée Beauty, an entire line of hair products that are infused with champagne, explains champagne’s unlikely hair benefits and why she started a business inspired by it.
One Ukrainian woman has to work especially hard to ensure there’s never a hair out of place, as her natural tresses measure nearly 6-feet long.

“For me, true beauty is in naturalness, which is why my hair is so long, it is the manifestation of my inner world, part of me and my soul,” the Odessa woman explained, The Sun reports.

From a young age, Kravchenko highly valued her mother’s advice that “long braids adorn a woman,” which has since inspired her to grow out her blonde hair for the last 30 years. Today, her mesmerizing mane measures about 70 inches long – which presents its own set of unique challenges.
The 34-year-old woman claims she often receives marriage proposals from men from all over the world, which she’s learned to "laugh off" and take in stride.
“A lot of men admire my hair, want to meet, travel, invite me to visit their country, make offers of hand and heart. I can laugh it off correctly, often I don’t answer messages so as not to give a man hope,” she said.
More frequently, Kravchenko said that strangers stop her on the street because of her hair, though some have more unusual requests than others.
“When people see the length of my hair, they can’t hide their enthusiastic looks and emotions, it’s very nice. Many come up and say how unusual and beautiful it is nowadays,” she explained. “The most unusual comments are requests to sniff my hair.”

To keep her long mane healthy and bright, Kravchenko relies on twice-yearly trims – most recently chopping off 6 inches in July – and frequently brushing out her locks.
“I wash my hair once a week, this process takes about an hour, given the preparation before and after washing," she detailed. “I comb my hair at least two times a day, I usually braid my hair, make a bun.”
Though she’s quite proud of her fairytale hair, Kravchenko confessed that she is prone to accidentally getting tangled up in it on occasion.
“The only thing in the loose form is to accidentally step on the hair. There are no physical discomforts, given that the braid grew with me all my life,” she said. “Accordingly, my body is used to it.”
